As for many topics, the #1 reason is that nobody proposed such an
inclusion. By *proposing*, we do not mean just emitting the idea as you
did (which is of course fine), but drafting a concrete proposal (under
the form of a Python Enhancement Proposal), and promising - or finding
someone else willing to promise - to handle maintenance and bugfixing
of the new stdlib module within our development community (not
eternally of course, but a couple of years would be nice so as to iron
out most issues).

Regards

Antoine.
